Get paid for shopping (even if you hate shopping)

Ladies and gentlemen, I’m proud to announce that I’m part of the 1%.

Not because of income (heaven knows), but because I’m one of the few women I know who hates to shop.

Crowded malls, stupid people, lousy parking…I could go on and on. For this very reason, I avoid going to the mall like the plague–I don’t even go there for Christmas shopping. And the idea of “hanging out” at the mall just horrifies me.

This year, I braved the mall twice—once to take Jackjack to the Lego store and once for pictures with Mom and Little Peanut.

The pictures were worth it.

So back to the point. I’m sure you’ve figured out that I love to shop online, but how do I get paid for shopping? It’s so easy. I start my online shopping trips at Ebates.com.

What is Ebates?

It’s a website that pays you up to 25% cash back for shopping online. Imagine it like the door to the shopping mall—you go through Ebates.com to get to your favorite sites, and Ebates pays you a percentage of the sale.

We aren’t talking rinky-dink little sites here, either. You can get cash back from shopping at these big name sites, among others:

Groupon

Amazon

eBay

Hotels.com

Ann Taylor

Nordstrom

I’ve been using Ebates since 2010 and have earned $526.80 so far. You can choose to have them pay you quarterly by check, directly to Paypal, or donate to charity.

Get started in 15 seconds, by just giving them your email address. Give it a try and you might just find yourself part of the 1%!

Hi, I came to your blog from the homestead barn hop, I’m enjoying reading a few different posts. I’m in the 1% too, I hate to shop and do most of it online, will be trying this site, thanks for the tip. Cheers, Liz

It’s no joke people!!!! I personally have not used it myself for 2 reasons, 1) I tend to get distracted by all the other things offered online than what I am actually looking for, that being said brings me to #2) I then order more than just the items I was searching for! Yaaaaaa that is me, WEAK, lol !! BUT………..if you have more willpower than I and can just get online and order ONLY….what you went there for……..then YOU CAN save hundreds OR MORE, as my Genious husband has. Just last year he received many checks that exceeded $1,500.00. Yep that’s right ONE THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS….PLUS !!!! And it was soley for things he intended to buy personally in the stores (which saved him a bundle in gas also) Soooooooooooo,if you are motivated, willpowered, GO FOR THE GUSTO!!!! It’s the real deal!!
